Could anyone please give me some assistance as to how all of this lovely armor stays on? Pics would be preferred, but I'll accept any help I could get (previous posts, hints, tips, tricks). My son has been prodding me for full-blown Fett for Halloween (and beyond). I've been researching the heck out of this gold-mine (TDH), but what I'm seeking seems to be eluding me. Please,... a point in the right direction would mean alot.
Thanks.

For those of us that suck at sewing by hand and don't have a sewing machine, how would we attached the snap buttons instead? Do those require any sewing through the back of the vest, or can you fix them on using hot glue?

For the snaps there is a dohicky like a pair of pliers almost that you should be able to get right next to the snaps in any store. No sweing needed.

Oh ok, so how do the plier doohickeys work? Does it involve putting a little hole through the vest where you are fixing it?

Looking at the button on a pair of jeans I'm guessing you just line up the front and back over top each other on both sides of the material you are fixing it to, then you use the pliers to pinch them together, and it pokes just little tiny holes through with tiny teeth and they fix in place?? That's what I'm getting out of it. Then you'd just hot glue the top half of the button to the back of the armor plate, and viola! there you go just snap together?

Your insight is very valuable, keep it coming please!

You got it, it punches the holes for you. Id use something other the hot glue to stick it to the armor. Goop or something like that. Do you have fiberglass armor?
